[Instrumental Intro] I learned to read the room before I learned to read myself. Kept every sharper part of me somewhere out of sight. I wore “I’m fine” like a uniform, buttoned to the throat. Made myself small enough to fit inside the rules they wrote. [Pre-Chorus] I got so used to waiting I forgot I had a choice. Every time I swallowed something, I lost another piece of voice. [Chorus] No more holding pattern, no more waiting for a sign. I have spent too many years on a flight plan that wasn't mine. Let the old alarms keep ringing, I know every one by name. I don't need a perfect landing. I just won't come back the same. [Verse 2] I know what happens when trust breaks right in front of you. You start reading every silence, every look, every change of tone. One careless moment lingers long after everyone moves on. You keep showing up like normal, with your guard already on. [Pre-Chorus] I kept the damage in the background, clean enough that no one knew. But surviving every impact doesn't mean it didn't cut through. [Chorus] No more holding pattern, no more waiting for a sign. I have spent too many years on a flight plan that wasn't mine. Let the old alarms keep ringing, I know every one by name. I don't need a perfect landing. I just won't come back the same. [Bridge] There were nights when standing still felt safer than another fall. When saying nothing seemed much easier than being seen at all. But silence has a weight to it. I know exactly what it costs. And I won't spend another lifetime trying to become less than I was. [Build] If the weather closes in again, I'll read it as it comes. I don't need somebody else's hands to tell me when to run. [Final Chorus] No more holding pattern, no more waiting for a sign. I have spent too many years on a flight plan that wasn't mine. Let the old alarms keep ringing. They don't get to choose my way. I don't need a perfect landing. I just need to leave today. No more holding pattern. No more borrowed lines. Whatever waits beyond this runway — this heading's mine. [Outro]
